Pediatric Physical Therapy Part Two Flashcards
what deformity is present with Erb’s paralysis
waiter’s tip
following shunting for hydrocephalus, what can result
Arnold-Chiari malformation Type II
purpose of selective dorsal rhizotomy
decrease spasticity
“floppy baby syndrome” AKA
Athetoid CP
KAFOs are commonly used for what diseases
spina bifida
muscular dystrophy
how are stance and gait described with ataxic CP
wide-based
what is crouched gait
walks with:
hip flexion
hip IR
knee flexion
where does esophagus refer pain
midback
two types of spina bifida cystica and what’s the difference
meningocele: cyst included CSF, cord intact
myelomeningocele: cyst included CSF and herniated cord tissue
purpose of the lamina of the vertebrae
protects spinal canal and spinal cord posteriorly
how is hydrocephalus pressure relieved
shunting
difference between spina bifida occulta and cystica
occulta: no SC involvement
cystica: visible or open lesion
Total/Whole Arm Paralysis involves what nerve roots
C5-T1
Erb’s and Klumpke’s combined
two common gait patterns with CP
crouched
toe walk
what joint is most affected with Erb’s Paralysis
shoulder girdle
purpose of side-lyers positioners
decrease tonic labrynthine reflex
put hands in visual field
what is monoplegia
one limb affected
reciprocating gait orthoses are commonly used for what diseases
thoracic level spina bifida
SCI
purpose of baclofen
decrease muscle spasms
most common drug for CP and what does it do
intrathecal baclofen pump
muscle relaxation
laminotomy would most likely be used for what condition
disk protrusion
what is quadriplegia
all four limbs
how does botox injection work
small amounts of botulinum toxin injected into muscle
paralyzing it for 4-6 months
what is hemiplegia
upper and lower limbs of one side of the body
joints affected with Klumpke’s Paralysis
wrist and hand
for ankle AFOs, if it is set at 5-10 degrees of dorsiflexion, what does it decrease
genu recurvatum
HKAFOs are commonly used for what diseases
spina bifida
SCI
what is a selective dorsal rhizotomy
dorsal sensory nerve rootlets are stimulated, those responding abnormally are severed
for CP, what direction would the wheelchair be tilted in and why
posterior
to decrease extensor tone and maintain hip flexion
where is the pump for intrathecal baclofen pump
abdomen
cathetar in cord
what level of SCI results in bowel and bladder dysfunction
L4/L5
what is diplegia
two lower limbs
two big muscle groups to lengthen for CP
hamstrings
plantar flexors
